Interested in a Group Class Setting?

In addition to private in-home childbirth education, Kingdom Beginnings offers group childbirth education classes as scheduling and interest allow.

Group classes are a wonderful option for families who enjoy learning in a supportive, faith-centered setting with other expecting families. These classes may cover labor stages, comfort measures, support person preparation, birth options, postpartum preparation, and biblical encouragement.

Group class dates are not always available, but families are welcome to inquire about upcoming options or ask to be added to the interest list.

    These testimonials are shared in each family’s own words.

    Nicolle says:

    Ciara was such a blessing to have support and guidance from through my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum! I could not imagine going through labor as a first time mom without her. Her personalized support was exactly what I needed to successfully have a natural birth of our son! My husband and I are VERY thankful for everything she’s done for us!!

    Holly says:

    Ciara was so professional and so personable during our time working together. She melted away any anxieties, stressors, and negativity during my pregnancy and labor. She was so encouraging and helped me to feel empowered during my unmedicated birth. Additionally, she was phenomenal postpartum- helping with herbal baths, breastfeeding, and checking in on my husband and I emotionally as well. I can’t recommend her enough! She truly helped to create the birthing experience I’d been dreaming of!!

    Hailie says:

    We hired Ciara for the birth of our fourth baby. It was our first time having a doula and she was absolutely amazing. She was always just a message or call away if I needed anything during my pregnancy. Her support during birth was exactly what I needed. I am so glad we had her in our support corner for this last baby of ours. She also captured photos I will cherish forever. Thank you Ciara for everything.

Minnesota Christian Childbirth Education - FAQ

Below are answers to common questions families have when considering childbirth education in Minnesota.

  • Yes. Kingdom Beginnings offers private one-on-one childbirth education in the comfort of your own home for families in Central Minnesota, the Twin Cities, and surrounding areas.

    Private classes allow your family to learn in a relaxed setting, ask personal questions, prepare your support person, and receive education that is more tailored to your birth goals, concerns, and preferences.

  • We currently offer two private childbirth education options:

    Kingdom Birth Preparation Series - our full, in-depth option.
    This series is $375 and includes 8 hours total, broken into four 2-hour sessions.

    Kingdom Birth Essentials - our streamlined crash course option.
    This class is $200 and includes 4 hours total, broken into two 2-hour sessions.

    We may also offer group childbirth education classes from time to time as scheduling and interest allow.

  • The Kingdom Birth Preparation Series is the deeper, more complete option. It allows more time for education, hands-on practice, comfort measures, body awareness, support person preparation, birth planning, postpartum preparation, and personal discussion.

    Kingdom Birth Essentials is a shorter option designed to cover the core foundations of labor, birth, support, comfort measures, birth options, and early postpartum in a more focused format.

    Both options are faith-based, evidence-informed, and practical. The main difference is the amount of time, depth, and personalization.

  • Each class option may include education on labor stages, birth hormones, pelvic anatomy, comfort measures, labor positions, support person preparation, pain management options, induction basics, informed decision-making, birth settings, birth options, postpartum preparation, and early newborn care.

    We also discuss different birth experiences, including hospital birth, birth center birth, home birth, medicated birth, unmedicated birth, VBAC, planned cesarean, and unexpected cesarean birth.

  • The Kingdom Birth Preparation Series includes more time for body awareness, functional movement, positioning, and bodywork education to support pregnancy and labor.

    Group classes may include basic bodywork education, movement awareness, and general positioning assessment, depending on the class format.

    The Birth Essentials class may touch on positioning and comfort measures, but it does not include the same depth of bodywork education as the full Birth Preparation Series.

  • No. You do not need to be a birth doula client to take a childbirth education class with Kingdom Beginnings.

    These classes are available to families who want faith-based, evidence-informed birth preparation, whether or not they are receiving doula support from our team.

  • No. Our childbirth education is not only for families planning an unmedicated birth.

    We support families preparing for many different types of birth, including medicated birth, unmedicated birth, home birth, birth center birth, hospital birth, VBAC, planned cesarean, repeat cesarean, and birth that changes course along the way.

    Our goal is to help you understand your options, prepare well, and feel more confident wherever and however your baby is born.

  • Yes, absolutely. These classes are designed for both the birthing person and their support person.

    Your support person will learn practical ways to offer comfort, encouragement, physical support, emotional support, and advocacy during labor, birth, and postpartum.

  • Yes. Kingdom Beginnings offers faith-based childbirth education with biblical encouragement woven throughout.

    We believe birth is beautifully designed by God, while also recognizing that every birth story is different. Our classes are designed to bring both practical preparation and Christ-centered encouragement into your birth education.

  • Yes. Our classes include both natural and medical options for labor and birth.

    We may cover comfort measures, movement, positioning, breathing, emotional support, pain management options, induction basics, cesarean birth, and informed decision-making tools so you can better understand your choices and prepare with wisdom.

  • Private childbirth education classes are typically held in your home.

    This allows your family to learn in a comfortable environment, practice hands-on tools in a real-life setting, and prepare in a way that feels personal and relaxed.

  • Many families take childbirth education sometime in the second or early third trimester.

    For the full Birth Preparation Series, starting earlier gives us more time to spread out the sessions and practice what you are learning.

    For Birth Essentials, families can take the class closer to birth if needed, though earlier is still helpful when possible.
